Players allocate workers and play visitors to complete various tasks throughout the seasons (each worker is placed on one action each year). In the spring, players decide the schedule their workers will follow. An early rise gives the player the chance to act first; however, offering workers a later wakeup time gives you more valuable bonuses. In the summer, players place workers on action spaces to plant vines and build structures that help advance that player’s vineyard. In the fall, players invite visitors to help their workers. In the winter, players place workers on action spaces to harvest grapes, make wine, and fill orders
